📝 Ingredients

• 11 ounces / 320 grams roll puff pastry
• 6 slices sandwich ham
• 6 teaspoons garlic and herb cream cheese
• 18 asparagus spears
• 1/4 cup / 30 grams cheddar cheese (grated)
• 1 small egg (beaten)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Snap off the bottom end of the asparagus spears.
2. 2Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into 6 roughly evenly-sized squares. If you have a block of puff pastry you should roll it out approximately ⅛-inch in thickness (or about the thickness of a one-pound coin).
3. 3Spread one teaspoon of cream cheese diagonally across each square of pastry.
4. 4Place one slice of ham (folded in half) on each of the cheese-covered pastry.
5. 5Place three pieces of asparagus inside each slice of ham. Arrange the asparagus with two tips pointing in one direction and the third one in the opposite direction.
6. 6Sprinkle each piece of ham with a little grated cheese.
7. 7Brush the corners of the pastry with beaten egg.
8. 8Fold the corners of the pastry over the ham and asparagus. Brush the exposed pastry with beaten egg and optionally sprinkle with a few sesame seeds.
9. 9Transfer the pastries to a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. If you don't have baking parchment you can brush the baking sheet with a few drops of oil first to prevent sticking.
10. 10Bake in a preheated oven (200C/400F) for 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
11. 11Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
